ENERGY BILL: MEMORANDUM OF UPDATED ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH VOTES FOR ENGLISH LAWS

Andrea Leadsom: I am pleased to announce the publication of updated analysis of the Energy Bill for the purposes of English Votes for English Laws.The English Votes for English Laws process applies to public Bills in the House of Commons. To support the process, the Government has agreed that it will provide information to assist the Speaker in considering whether to certify that Bill or any of its provisions for the purposes of English Votes for English Laws.The memorandum provides an assessment of the amendment made at Lords Consideration of Commons Reason (LCCR) and the motion tabled for Commons Consideration of Lords Message (CCLM), ahead of CCLM. The Department’s assessment is that amendment 7TB does not change the territorial application of the Bill.The memorandum can be found on the Bill documents page of the Parliament website at: http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2015-16/energy/documents.html and I have deposited a copy in the House of Commons library.
